President Trump on Monday touted the economy, saying “the underlying strength of companies has perhaps never been better.”
“The economy is looking really good. It has been many years that we have seen these kind of numbers,” Trump wrote on Twitter.
“The underlying strength of companies has perhaps never been better.”

Trump periodically plugs the United States economy on Twitter and has used the social media platform to promote last year’s GOP tax cuts.
“TAX CUTS will increase investment in the American economy and in U.S. workers, leading to higher growth, higher wages, and more JOBS!” Trump said in December.
